disabling DRL's i want some pics.

[shimmy2244]

looked in the DIY but the pics don't work... anyone have any pics i can look at so i know which wires i'm working with?

[makenramen]

dont worry about wires. take out the switch, get a small piece of electrical tape and cover the TFL pin on the back of the headlight switch. plug it back in and voila.

[bagxlee]

there aren't any wires, bro. there's a series of pins on the back of the switch. (after you take it out.) just put some tape over the tff (i think that's what its labeled) pin. you don't need no stinking pictures

[diive4sho]

push light switch in and turn...it will lock in the pushed and turned position ...then you pull it out.

disconnect the harness from the back of the switch.

put a small piece of electrical tape over the TFL pin or if you wan this to be permanent just bend the pin off..

you will see what I'm talkin about once you get it out...the pin says TFL directly under it

Should I use scissors to cut the tape, or...how do I...small piece? ugh

[67Customs]

I took two pieces for me.

[Sealab2k21]

i just cut a thin strip and pushed it over the pin with a straightened paper clip

[friedguy]

I just bent that sucker.

[Smoky_Llama]

Uhhhhh, part number for the electrical tape.

euro switch ftw.. city lights > running lights

[Nevaeh_Speed]

even with the euro switch you'll have drl.. So your gonna have to bend the tfl tab. 1 min mod... All you need is some needle nose pilers, and one hand... Fastest and best mod ever.

[JettaGT8V80]

pliers i just used my finger

[gooberliberation]

In my Golf, I used tape. For some reason the wiring harness in my GTI had more bite to it and would just chew up the tape, so I just bent the sucker.

[KG18t]

why don't people just pull the TFL wire out of the connector? I mean, it is a bit of a pain to do, but when you want to sell it and put it back, you just snap the wire back into the harness plug.

crappy phone pic:

or you just put the virgin NA switch back in

[iimDUBBINit]

Yeah i bent the thing too it was really p***ing me off lol

[KILLAHDANKS]

it's easy and takes 2 seconds, put it on over the top. Like a condom if you know how to use one. I see so many people try to wrap it around the piece and they say "it didn't work", yeah because the tape did not block anything and it still makes a connection.

[JettaDude123]

I had some trouble with the tape, I just bent mine down.

Wow, I feel like a new man. That was a little bit too easy. I love you guys, glad I signed in today.

[AE2058]

i just bent the pin forward and left it like that, NP

[Skinner]

so funny that this came up today, because I Was just about to search the DIY for it.

[TDi Surfer]

after you have folded/taped/ripped out the pin and put everything back test it out

take this

put it in just to the right of the steering wheel and turn

get out and walk to the front of the car... it should look something like this

[JettaJensen]

^^^^

Love the sig. "Marriage and debt." LOL.

[vwhenrock]

I just bent the TFL pin down towards the middle of the switch. It doesn't go into it's place, it doesn't connect.

[jerseyjim0]

everyone on vortex is WAY past this mod. lol
